First things first, RIP Prodigy.
On June 20th the Hip Hop community and New York City lost a legend. As a member of Mobb Deep, Prodigy has cemented his legacy within the culture and his death due to sickle cell hit home for many. One in particular is fellow Queens native and Hip Hop legend, Nas. Nas was one of the first to break the news and pay homage amongst others in the Hip Hop community.
Taking to the WOO HAH Festival in the Netherlands, Nas took the time out to pay tribute to Prodigy by performing the classic record ‘Shook Ones Pt. 2’. With many of the festival goers shouting ‘RIP Prodigy’, the respect and love was in the air as Nas ended his performance letting it be known ‘We Love You Prodigy’.
Stand up act for one Hip Hop’s own fallen legends, his legacy will live on. Check out the videos below.
